Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Impact of Core Bus Corridor Proposals: Discussion (20 Jun 2018)

Funding is required but the amount is relatively small for what will be...

Driver Testing and Standards Authority Bill 2004: Second Stage (Resumed). (28 Apr 2005)

Catherine Murphy: I wish to share time with Deputy Cuffe. According to the Department of Transport the new authority's primary responsibility will be to deliver a more efficient driver testing service. No one doubts there is a need for that improvement. The average waiting time for a test is 39 weeks, with the longest wait being 61 weeks and 14 the shortest, which is unacceptable. This compares unfavourably...
